6 Blog Posts That Will Rock Your Writing Day

I’ve read some great posts on my favorite writing and personal development blogs lately, and I thought I’d share them with you. Enjoy!

1. Instead of working from a business plan or a to-do list, Jennifer Lawler chooses themes, and she writes about this in Working in Themes on her Finding Your Voice blog. For example, one month may be novel month, the next month she’ll work on her screenplay. This tactic can work great for freelancers who have so many projects on the go that they can’t decide which one to work on at any given time — so they work on nothing.

3. I love this post from Sage Cohen of the Path of Possibility blog: The Death of the Dream Could Be the Birth of Unprecedented Possibility. She writes, “What I have found to be true in every case?”in my personal life and my writing life?”is that the death of the dream creates the space for what is actually intended to come through: what is, in the end, a better fit than we ever could have imagined.”

6. Do you tend to get to 90% complete on a project — like writing a query — and then give up? In Completing Projects on the Steve Pavlina blog, Steve urges you to listen to your higher self and push yourself to finish what you start.

This is a great post and a timely one, especially as I’ve been working on an editorial calendar for my blog. Because I want to incorporate more focus into my posts. I think working in themes is fantastic idea!
